Went well for 2 years then red sensor light started coming on & stopping vacuum every 30 secs. Happens constantly now. Tried cleaning all filters & rotating head every time but still keeps shutting off. Chord retracts during use & won’t fully return leaving a metre outside. Hard to manoeuvre as keeps flipping on its back upon turning. It’s heavy to push back onto its right side. Most expensive & WORST machine I have ever bought at $600. I will NEVER buy Bosch again & be letting everyone not to go near them like the plague!!!

Worst vacuum cleaner ever stops going into sensor mode filters are clean dont buy Bosch they are not helpful
Just want to sell you a filter which could buy another cleaner for

Well engineered and very powerful. We use it on carpet, tiles and floor boards. The power head attachment is so easy to clean due to the cleaver - easy to remove brush head. Only small criticism is the power head stalls / slows down sometimes as it is driven from the suction of the vacuum rather than its own motor in the head itself. The self cleaning filter is brilliant as I always forgot to clean our old filter. Huge bag less compartment which is easy to empty and reinstall. Very happy.

I wouldn't recommend this vacuum at all. It self cleans every 30 seconds and it has always done this, regardless of how clean the filter is. I have had it sent off only to be told it was fine but it clearly isn't. Now it is out of warranty and after several attempts to get help from Bosch, I am stuck with a faulty expensive product which leaves me unable to purchase another one. Highly disappointed.

1. Vaccum worked well when first purchased, both on carpet and hard floors. But then the faults crept in.
2. The sensor continually cuts in when working on hard floors but does not do this using the turbo head.
3.The cord has a mind of its own, it retracts when you don't want it to and then when you do want it to retract it fails to go all the way in leaving about a metre sticking out.
4. The turbo head now will not work properly only going at about half speed even though I have cleaned it.
5.The filter clogs easily.
6. I will not buy another Bosh.
5.The main filter requires constant cleaning an it clogs up easily.

When my old vacuum broke down I set out to Harvey Norman in search of a new vacuum. I was on a budget. I was shown a few different models but was sold at the prospect of self cleaning filters... and it was on sale! I have had the vacuum for a year now. The machine itself is silent and very powerful. My only criticism is carpet brush attachment no longer working but I’m sure I’ll get a replacement if I headed down to the store.

This hoover is easy to use and move around. It has a good long cord and doesn't tip over.
The different heads are really useful - especially the Turbo head for carpets.
It's the best hoover for picking up pet hair (we have 2 cats). The smaller heads are really useful for picking up hair on the sofas.

Worst vacuum ever - have taken it back twice and been told there’s nothing wrong with it. Only way I can vacuum without the sensor cleaning alert coming on every 15 seconds is to run it at half speed which is useless as it doesn’t pick up anything. Am continually having to pull the tube apart and pry out stuff which has got stuck - there is a division inside the tube just below the handle which is a nightmare.

I am having the same trouble. My vac hasn't had much use but every 30 seconds it goes into Sensor Control. To get the vacuuming done I have to turn off the vac and start again. Regular cleaning maintained, used mainly on wooden floors and paid way too much money for this piece of rubbish. Harvey Norman sold it very well in comparison to other brands.

We have a dog and she sheds a lot. This vacuum works like magic! It is bagless which is what I’ve been looking for! And the container is huge. But the only downside is it is bit heavy to carry up & down. And the cord can be a little bit longer.

This is the worst vacuum cleaner I have ever had, the suction is pathetic, everything about the bagless canister is flimsy, horrible design to change heads, the so called power head just wraps hair around it. The body of it is clumsy and awkward. Drives me mad how it stops to clean filter all the time. I chose this one as it was recommended for my new Rhino Carpet, but to be honest I am quite worried its not even cleaning it adequately.
Wonder if it is a warranty issue or just the worst vacuum ever? Only 5 months old.

Awful. constant maintenance. cleaning filters makes no difference to overall performance. power head is not actually powered so isn't great at dealing with pet hair. Never again. About 12 months old and sending it to live in the shed and buying an alternative. It takes at least 5 times as long to vacuum as it did with my Dyson as it is constantly self cleaning or meditating or whatever the hell it does when the red sensor light is on.

If you have pets in your home, then dont look anywhere further and get this vacuum cleaner. Please note this is a german product and that means it lasts longer.
Pros:
A quiet beast machine
Non allergic vacuum cleaner
Powerful Motor
German product
2 years company warranty

Cons:
Not yet identified in 6 months of usage

Few months ago I decided to replace my old vacuuum with a bagless one. After some online research I restricted my option to two brands, Miele and Bosch. I opted for the second one,I felt they had some similarity but the Bosch was much cheaper and had better specs for a cheaper price. I have used it now and it has been much better than I expected in performance . I am following the indication of the sales person to mntain it clean: I press the self cleaning button before I empty the canister and I will need to wash the filter with just water every 6 months. Plenty of accessories with this model.

I am very sceptical when i see turbo head "have always used a power head" but to my amazement it really works the 2 rugs i have are short and medium pile wool, the head goes over just like a power head it dosnt stop or cut out and it really picks up all the dog fur. I really love the extra wide hard floor brush and it even lifts dog fur from the rugs as well.
The dust barrel is really generous in size i can do the whole house before emptying (heaven) it come with so many attachment still havent figured out what to use them for. There are only 2 small draw i found the hose would kink for no reason and the machine would stop mid vaccum but this means auto cleaning the filter for optimal power

Strong performance, quiet and easy to clean. Pets and children at home require constant cleaning of our four bedroom house. I made sure before I purchased it that the sales person went through the maintenance process with me. No filters to purchase and many tools come with this model. Happy!

My mother got this vacuum bought for her through her Anglicancare package. She couldn't use it because it was too big and cumbersome and she couldn't work out how to put the filters and dust bag in. I then bought it off her and am less than displeased with it. It hardly auctions, its heavy and it appears to have filters that are stuck in it.
